By yesterday morning a'lo? them had been located by the^officers and were landed in jail.Under the law the prisoners are subjectto additional sentence for makingerxjape and the women may be sorryi?'ter all that they went away.It is understood that SupervisorSample expects to take utp with thelegislative delegation the matter ofproviding a safe place for the detain-;ing of women prisoners at the home.The law forbids such prisoners being placed on the chaingang.Canary.Mrs. Liliie Viola Sligh was bornNov. 29th, 1890, and departed this lifeJuly 16. 1916.

Business engagementsmade it impossible for us to be there.We regret it and hope our friends willexcuse our absence. We kept o<urpromise to advertise the dhange ateach place and we are told that bothwere fine dinners.There was good hash and fine meatat Jalapa on Tuesday and a larg*crowd presentWe managed to go to two places onThursday. We told Caldwell Ruffand Henry Counts that we co<uld notcorae to Jolly Street for dnner but iithey would arrange to serve us abreaLJast we would try to bring fourto eat it. We went and also Ed Brans,Henry Rikard and Jim Sample and wehad a fine breakfast served by Wr3.Caldwell Ruff and them brains andpig feet and chittlings were surefine.At noon we drove out to Beth.Eden to the annual picnic at thatplace. The dinner was fine and th/*hash cooked by Ab Sligh they-say wa*as good as the best. He knows howto make hash. There was a goodcrowd present iaad we are glad of thervnrvnr+nni+v Tiavp RTVAnt". an hourwith these good people.We wish the superior could getout on this road and put some claywith that heavy sand and 'then therewould always be a good road in thatdirection. IWte understand that SupervisorSample is going to do so i&iscon as the crops are laid by and t&epeople can give a little cooperationand that he is going to repair thnroad all the way to Whitmire.Today the "barbecue will be atKeitt's grove n most delightful placcto hold a meeting.We are sorry that some of our hisfamily have met with misfortune butgLad that it . is not serious. j^TubEvans has been laid up for a fewdays and was not able to get toJalapa. Olemson Wilson iput somewrong medicine in ti3 eye in theplace of eye water and it might havebeen serious but he is 1311 rigfat again.Walter Herbert got young and wasdriving a; sprightly young horsev 1 ich ran off with him and bruised u;his leg but he has been able to keepgoing. The rest of the family, thanVyou, we believe are all right.As to the finances of the countythere are certain fixed expenses thathave to be met. The county supervisorcannot avoid them or change th?m irhe should be extravagant or wastin the other expenditures then th '.t isa matter for which he should, account.But the fact that the county is indebt is a matter over which he has nocontrol and about which he is powerlessto act The ^county has been indebt for many years and the sad. .factabout it is that it is getting deeper inevery year and will continue to do soso long as the foolish policy of themembers of the legislature is continued.(And neinther can the countysupervisor nor the county commissioners help it So long as the legislativedelegation refuses or fails to makethe levy sufficient to raise the revenueto run the county the county is^cing to -be in debt. It is ia veryfoolish and unbusinesslike way to dobut it has been going on so long- thatthe people should be familiar with; itby this time.The expenses necessary to run thea (* ?** r\ r\ r\ j 4.^county are acouu $>^o.vuv auutotal income not over $35,000 and ofcourse th>e county is going to rc-nainin debt co Iong as that policy prevails.It is not right to make the peoplewho do work for the county wait forthe pay end it is not right to bo borrowingmoney and make the people- ' , . . - . - vnnv irtfprp^t.
